Hello dear book browser and welcome to 'Peggy & Me'. The story of my life since getting a beautiful shih-tzu bichon frise cross puppy (I call the breed a shitty frise - fun) in the form of Peggy.
Some of you may be thinking: 'a book about a dog,how totally brilliant,I need to hear more,I'm sold.' In which case we should be best friends and go out to tea together,every day.Others of you may be thinking: 'a book about a dog,how totally mad,and sad, she must have officially lost it.' In which case I understand.For I once viewed dog owners with much suspicion.They way they obsessively talk about their dogs often using voices for them to reply; the way they have a light covering of dog hair all over their clothes and sofas; and an alarming comfort and ease around excrement.
But I now get why people become so mad about their hounds.It wasn't love I have to admit.Getting a puppy when I was at a low ebb in my life wasn't easy and there was a lot of challenging, what I call,dog administration (dog-min).It's been a bumpy old road,but Peggy has been lovingly by my side through some life-changing moments and I wouldn't have coped without her. Most surprisingly she has taught me a huge amount - not how to get an old pie packet out of a bin and lick it (I could already do that),but real lessons about life and love and trust and friendship.
Put aside any doggy reservations and come walkies with Peggy and me. . .
